| Posted: 06 Jun 2012 05:10 AM PDT The delightful Lumo is based on the analogy of a traditional campfire. Tinly interactive pebbles flicker with light, mimicking the burning embers of logs. They gently fade out if you don't play with them. Simon explains, "In the same way a fire requires fuel to sustain its illumination, the pebbles require collective nurturing from the group of users." Lumo comes with a paper-crete induction-charging base to charge and house the pebbles. Designer: Simon Heapy - Related posts:

| Posted: 06 Jun 2012 05:05 AM PDT Here is an interesting concept of modularizing the roofs of buildings. The idea stems from the fact that roof gardens have a uni-directional focus with little or no variations. Design Prototype Interactive Roof are pixilated units that perform a unique function and interact according to the living space below it. Like the designer explains, "Each of the squares or pixels has a different function, and depending on its program the result in insulation, space, energy, water supply, and ventilation may change in the space below. At anytime when the program inside of the building requires a new arrangement, the roof can be easily changed by lifting a pixel and placing it in its new position." DPI_R can be easily fitted to a new building site or enhance an existing building by adding a "new" roof to the existing one. Designer: Nicolas Backal - Related posts:

| Posted: 06 Jun 2012 12:01 AM PDT The Snow Form Lamp by designer Young Kwang Cho was inspired by the unique way that snow collects as long ridges formed by the wind. Like the snowdrifts, the lamp has a soft, fluid aesthetic with gentle curves and sweeping lines. Simply push the top of the lamp down to activate the light.

| Posted: 06 Jun 2012 12:01 AM PDT Unlike existing folding bicycle designs that fold into a triangular shape, the Donut bike folds into a super-compact circle that leaves no component exposed. From the handlebars to the pedals, everything is safely tucked away and making it incredibly easy to tote around and store. Designer: Arvind M - Related posts:
